STEP 3 – X-PRESS™ CONFIGURATION

X-PRESS™ is the intuitive Human Machine Interface designed to improve ease of

installation and maintenance.

Status and diagnostic information are clearly presented by means of the five colored LEDs,

whereas the single push button gives immediate access to the following relevant functions:

 AutoSetup to self-optimize and auto-configure

reading performance in demanding applications

 AutoLearn to self-detect and auto-configure for

reading unknown barcodes (by type and length)

 Test Mode with bar-graph visualization to check

static reading performance

NOTE

If using the OM2000N accessory, when entering the X-PRESS™ interface,

the Oscillating Mirror remains in the default fixed position (-15°) in order to

make barcode reading easier while performing the X-PRESS™ functions.

The colors and meaning of the five LEDs are illustrated in the following table:

READY (green) This LED indicates the device is ready to operate.

GOOD (green) This LED confirms successful reading.

TRIGGER (yellow) This LED indicates the status of the reading phase.

COM (yellow) This LED indicates active communication on main serial port. *

STATUS (red) This LED indicates a NO READ result.

* When connected to a Fieldbus network through the CBX500, the COM LED is always active, even in the

absence of data transmission, because of polling activity on the Fieldbus network.

During the reader startup (reset or restart phase), all the LEDs blink for one second.

On the back of the reader near the cable, the “POWER ON” LED indicates the laser scanner

is correctly powered.

The procedure is as follows:

A) place the desired barcode on

the scanline.

B) wait until the LEARN LED stays

steady on (indicating the reader

has detected the barcode).

C) repeat, if needed, the above

two steps to program up to 10

different barcodes (the LEARN

LED returns to the blinking state

for the next code). If more than

one barcode is detected in the

scan line, the Multi Label mode

is enabled (refer to the “2K/4K

Family Software Configuration

Parameter Guide” Help file).

3. Exit the process by pressing the X-PRESS™ push button once. The scanner will restart

at the end of the process, and then the detected barcodes are automatically configured in

scanner memory.

NOTE

If the barcode cannot be read because of low contrast or excessive ambient

light, you can perform the AutoSetup function to optimize the optical

parameters. Then you can perform AutoLearn to recognize the barcode

symbology.

NOTE

On exit from Autolearn, the following parameters are forced: Code

Combination = Single Label, Reading Mode = Linear. If necessary, these

parameters can be changed through Genius™.

* In case of Programming Barcodes (refer to the “Setup Procedure Using Programming Barcodes” document in

the product CD).

STEP 4 – INSTALLING GENIUS™ CONFIGURATION PROGRAM

Genius

™

is a Datalogic scanner configuration tool providing several important advantages:

 Wizard approach for new users;

 Multi-language version;

 Defined configuration directly stored in the reader;

 Communication protocol independent from the physical interface allowing to consider the

reader as a remote object to be configured and monitored.

To install Genius™, turn on the PC that will be used for the configuration, running

Windows 98, 2000/NT, XP, Vista or 7, then insert the Genius™ CD-ROM, wait for the CD

to autorun and follow the installation procedure.

This configuration procedure assumes scanner connection to a CBX100/500. Genius™,

running on a laptop computer, is connected to the scanner auxiliary port through the

CBX100/500 9-pin connector. To communicate with the scanner, Genius™ performs an auto

baudrate detection starting from its default parameters which are 115200, 8, N, 1. These

parameters can also be set in the Genius™ Tools>Options>Communications window.

Wizard for Quick Reader Setup

After installing the Genius™ software program the following window appears asking the user

to choose the desired configuration level.

Figure 8 - Genius™ Wizard Opening Window

The Wizard option is advised for rapid configuration or new users, since it shows a step-by-
